Actor visibility won't change

I have an actor whose visibility is by default set to true. When an attributes changes I've set it to change self.Graphics.Visible to false. The problem is that all this does is change the text the actor is displaying to invisible, and the actor itself is still there.
Any ideas as to how I could fix this?

    Why not just change self.color alpha to 0? Give that a try.

    Hi @redleaf the Visible attribute can't be changed during runtime anyway, so use Alpha as @Braydon_SFX suggests. :-)

    That is good to know and does solve the visibility problem. The issue now is that the actor is still active, and touching it still triggers an event that I don't want to happen unconditionally. Is there a way I could also disable the button?

    There may be a better way, but I just set the width and height to 0 and it became impossible to touch. Problem solved!

    . . . or just move it off screen, or simply destroy it.

    ....or put the rule: When self.Color.Alpha =1 in the touch Rule...
